    Fries

    Great to have something here again and the owners totally did it right. Huge menu of Burgers, hot dogs, Italian beef's, fries, custard, shakes, floats, and yes, even salads. The eatery outside is cleaned as soon as patrons finish their meal or treat. There are a few tables inside but are usually occupied. This place is busy and for good reason. Food is great here! You might wait a little longer than you're used to but well worth the wait!

    Not sure what all the hype is. They updated the inside and now there is one spot for sitting and a few tall tables, no chairs. There is plenty of seating on the patio outside. We placed our order and it started wrong. The girl asked for the name for the order went replied "Best" easy enough. Nope, not easy enough she got that wrong. We ordered a Chicago Dog, a regular dog with nachos cheese, a Melkat Burger, a Chicago Gyro and a loaded fries. She asked if we wanted to make it a meal, then proceeded to ask if I wanted a regular or large. I made it a meal and requested large for $3.00 more and only the drink was large (that I really didn't want to begin with) and there was an up charge on the fries (naturally) but the size didn't change. Honestly, the food was barely lukewarm when we got home and it isn't that far of a drive. Seems as though it didn't start very hot to begin with. The best item we purchased was the Melkat Burger.

    MelKat's has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Kenosha, and after one visit it's easy to see why this place is already buzzing. I went with the smashburger with bacon and fries -- and wow. The burger was large, juicy, and packed with flavor. The bacon was a perfect addition, and the fries rounded it out into a solid, satisfying meal. Portions are generous without feeling like a gimmick. This is just good, quality food done right. Beyond the food, the vibe here is special. The staff was warm, professional, and clearly cared about the experience. What really stood out was the owner coming out personally to greet customers -- in a busy restaurant, that level of engagement is impressive and speaks to the kind of operation Dino and Jason are running. Speaking of busy -- the place was absolutely packed, and for good reason. The transformation of the former Shirl's Drive-In space is remarkable. The venue is completely redone and genuinely gorgeous -- a great atmosphere for a quick lunch or a casual night out. MelKat's is the kind of place Kenosha has been waiting for. Classic flavors, great hospitality, and real community pride baked into every detail. Don't sleep on this one.

    Really good! We sat on the patio area with our dog. Don't come if you're in a hurry, quite a long wait but it's newly opened.

    Need tomato on the Chicago Dog and sweet peppers option on the beef. But still a very good meal.

Inside the store, you will find like little bottles, drink coolers or coffee mugs for sale. First time in the store attending a cookie decoration class where if you go on Facebook you will be able to locate the other cookies decoration classes offers and sign up online. Leah, the instructor who is also the owner of the store was very good explaining and helpful teaching the techniques to decorate. Making the class a breeze to sit through it and learn. Very fun class everybody was involved with questions. It was so nice and easy-going. Highly recommended for anybody who would like to just have a fun night with a friend or maybe a bridal party or just something to do with anyone. At the end of the class to provide you a cute little box for you to take the cookies home and enjoy them by yourself or with someone else if you prefer to share.

The place smells amazing right when you walk in! Cute popcorn shop with a ton of different flavors to pick from. Along with icecream flavors and miscellaneous candy treats. They will make it fresh for you as well- thank you Tom! He was very kind answering all of our questions and making a customer feel like a customer (not always something you receive these days). It was hard to only pick a few popcorns to bring home with me, but I ended up purchasing the s'mores and cheese and caramel blend, and impulse purchased the chocolate turtle at checkout. I appreciate how samples of the popcorn are out as well. Everything was fantastic and this will be a must stop for me when I'm in Kenosha!

Looking it up online I discovered it contains oat milk, which a good percentage of celiacs, including me, cross react to. The moon milk is a "proprietary blend" they say has no allergens, but oats, rye, and barley are not considered allergens, but are not tolerated by celiacs. No way to know what their secret ingredients are. My fault for not asking The in store menu did not indicate this had oat milk. I assumed it was just milk.

My go to order is their veggie quiche, coffee cake and iced Blue Moon latte. On a recent trip I wanted to try something new and opted for their blended drink. I recommend their medium size option if you are getting an iced drink as they always get the coffee to milk ratio correct for me. My only complaint is their iced coffee drinks aren't always cold enough strangely (I have not experienced this with other coffee shops and I love iced coffee). A few times now I have ended up with lukewarm iced coffee with ice that's already halfway melted. I come here often and always hesitate for them to remake it due to this but it really takes away from my iced coffee experience. Due to the inconsistency I'm taking off two stars. I still recommend to try this shop but be prepared for a possible hit or miss experience with their iced beverages.
